In a post, Dindo Balares shared what emotional Kris Aquino told him.
Kris Aquino has multiple autoimmune diseases, and amid her struggles with her health, she admitted that she misses her old self.
Kris Aquino is currently living at a private beach resort while she continues with her medicines for her multiple autoimmune disorders. She came back to the Philippines in September 2024 and decided to continue her journey to recovery here.
As of the latest, Kris now has 9 autoimmune conditions, and they are:
- Autoimmune Thyroiditis
- Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria
- EGPA
- Systemic Sclerosis/Scleroderma
- Lupus
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Fibromyalgia
- Polymyositis
- Mixed Connective Tissue Disease
Based on a previous article, Kris has now gained weight, as told by her close friend Bambbi Fuentes. She is accordingly not as weak as people perceived her to be. Recently, her close friend, Dindo Balares, also shared her current situation and revealed how emotionally affected she is by her health conditions.
In a Facebook post, Balares visited her at the beach resort where she currently stays, and shared a moment they shared where she was watching a clip of her and Sen. Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa stitched together about the “holy spirit.”
She laughed at the clip, and her joy was contagious while laughing at herself. They had a conversation about it, and even when hehad already gotten home, he and Aquino were still talking through a messaging app about the video.
Quoting Aquino, Balares wrote, “You were asking me what I believe sets me apart—it’s because I can laugh at the weirdest things that come popping out of my mouth. When you can laugh at yourself, you’re a winner because having the ability to take life and all its quirks is what keeps one from getting too full of herself.”
She then turned sentimental after reading a netizen’s comment that said, “I miss Krissy.”
“It hit me, kuya Dindo. People do not realize how much I miss the old me…” she told Balares. “But I am human and it hurts so much.”
